I worked with Ali for 2 years as her assistant photographer at weddings. She's always treated her…read moreclients with the utmost respect and is a very skilled wedding photographer as well as baby, child, and family photographer. If she ever would have treated anyone disrespectfully, I would have stopped working with her as that would have affected my own professional reputation. Ali has built her life around photography and takes pride in her work. She took our family photos a year ago and they were the best we've ever had done. She made my teenagers laugh and that's a feat! I HIGHLY recommend Alicia Schuette Photography for any photo needs you have.

The owners and staff were a joy to work with from start to finish and were incredibly accommodating in helping us bring our vision to life. The day went seamlessly, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was truly the best day!

Love that they are pet friendly! Pet charge is minimal $ 25 compared to some of the other hotels…read more Check in was easy- nice and friendly staff. Rooms were quite colorful - it looks like they had recently been remodeled which was nice. Air conditioner smelled super musty with old dank air coming out. Had to turn it off as it smelled really bad. Sheets could also use an upgrade. Stains on the bedspread and stains on the sheet (blood stains) sheets and bedspreads normally give me the creeps, but finding stains- ewww. Fine place for passing through. Breakfast offered

I tried to book a hotel for June and somehow the dates were changed to April. I asked the hotel in…read moremy reservation request to contact me to confirm no use of strong smelling chemicals and never got any communication from them. I got charged 210$ and I've been trying to get them to reimburse me for almost three months now and can never get a manager on the phone. This hotel only cares about getting money whatever way they can and will do nothing to help you. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

This is a beautiful little rest stop off I-70, with a patch of forest and park that has clearly…read morebeen here for a long time. The trees have to be at least 40 years old, and they have grown in thick enough that the ground stays in shade pretty much all day. Even in the middle of summer it feels ten degrees cooler once you walk in under them. There is old-school playground equipment here, the kind most parks replaced years ago. I doubt it gets much use. Nice to see a little window of how things were back in time. Picnic benches are scattered through the trees, so you can eat something you brought along instead of sitting in the car. The whole area is well manicured and groomed. Somebody is clearly still taking care of the place, which you do not always see at a stop like this. It makes for a genuinely peaceful break on a longer drive. The bathrooms are indoors, so even with snow on the ground you can use the facilities without freezing. They were clean when I stopped. There are vending machines in the back too, which came in handy for a quick snack before getting back on the road. If you are driving through, this one is worth pulling off for instead of pushing on to the next exit.

Wow!! This place is amazing! If you like eating out at upscale restaurants, Modern Family Dinners…read morecan supply you with the same types of gourmet food right in your own home! I've copy cated food from nice restaurants, but by the time I buy all the ingredients, I've spent much more and have a bunch of extra ingredients that I won't use again!! I buy the meals for two and usually have left overs or our granddaughter helps us finish it! Lol! Deserts are awesome also!! I order online and then pick up on Saturdays. If I forget it on Saturdays I can pick it up on Mondays also. Very clean pick up location in Effingham! Would definitely recommend this business!

We had a pre dinner drink at Wheat Penny last night, and the experience was overall enjoyable. We…read morewould definitely come back. We walked in around 4:15pm, and found an open private booth which was cool. The entire space is classy and I'd like to sit in the leather chairs in the back room next time. The drinks were good- a Carajillo and special "love potion". The booth had the ability to control our music volume which we enjoyed. The only hiccup is the menu said to "hit the button in your booth to order", we couldn't find the button. After waiting quite a while our waitress hadn't come back, so I went to find her and put our drinks in. She explained the booths no longer have buttons. No big deal, but we should have been approached sooner for our drink order versus having to go find her. All in all we still enjoyed our experience and will return.
